Jennings is a joke. LOL!!! Elite? Give me a break. Nichols in all of the games he has started for us has never played THIS BAD!!!

Riders secondary playing down to their usual standards.

Where are all the Jennings is an elite qb now? He sucks. Stupid as a brick. No sorry, the brick is smarter. Don't want to insult any sensitive bricks out there.

Exactly. What's the point of starting ten pointless threads a day except to create needless clutter ? Not only do we have a GDT that is still active to discuss injuries the team may have suffered yesterday, but we also have a CFL discussion thread where Ricky Ray's injury could be talked about without having to start a new thread about both. As far as injuries go, CFL teams are extremely tight lipped about them. Especially on Sundays. The other 6 days of the week they won't discuss it much. So, speculating about injuries while knowing virtually nothing as to picks for upcoming games when teams don't release much info doesn't mean much

No, can't see Glenn doing that? I totally see Lulay doing it though. Bad shoulder & all.

I've heard they've moved Derek Dennis to guard. Is that true? Next move, off the roster. I hate the Riders more than the Lions. So, any day the Riders lose is a good day. Might as well put them in major chase mode for the rest of the season thereby putting the heat on Jones. I think it's obvious there'll be 4 Western teams in the playoffs with one of them being the crossover.

Mike Reilly would have done the same as Nichols. Both guys are warriors. You really can't expect them to turn it on & off if that is how they play. The question I have is would Bo Levi Mitchell have thrown that block? His uniform always looks spotless.

Think about it, you post so many new discussion topics & half of which could just be asked in an already posted thread. You asked about possible Bomber injuries which didn't need an entirely new thread to discuss it. At least not less than 24 hours on a Sunday after the game. During the week, sure. I think I'm not the only one who think you post a lot of useless threads here. As I said, it could have been asked in the GDT.

Man, I loved what whoever it was said. No sugar coating the pathetic Ti Cats performance last night. No political correctness there. I'd point fingers at Collaros. Yeah, his line is bad but he's using it as a crutch. He's shown zero leadership this year. I guess we know now he'd have played in 2015 had he signed with the Bombers with that turnstile of an OL we had instead of Hamilton.

We don't have the WOW!! QB as some people love the mistake prone Jennings over the steady Nichols. Our receivers are playing much better but for a long time were the worst in the CFL. The Lions pass catchers play lights out most games. Our defense plays soft compared to BC. We've given up over 220 points in 7 games compared to the Lions that have given up 50 or more points less over the same number of games. So, there's those perceptions out there, I believe. I also think the Bombers were so bad for so long that some fans & media of other teams just can't accept the fact that the Bombers aren't a last place team anymore. Sometimes perceptions that are ingrained take a long time to change. Give me the underdog role everytime.

Are you getting paid to start topics? Why does this deserve it's own thread? This easily could have been asked in the Winnipeg@Hamilton GD thread. It's still an active discussion.

Another question. Another topic. Another day.

Were you wearing shorts when you posted this?

Sad to hear, RIP Bryan Murray.

This game beforehand scared the bejeebers out of me & I'm so glad we won.

Would anyone do that to their wife even if it was a work?

I think LaPo holds him back with the dinking & dunking throws underneath that just do not extend drives.

Yeah, I had to reach far back in the memory banks for that....

I'm shamelessly showing my age here but what the hey. For all you long time, oldtimer Blue Bomber fans out there, do you remember this guy?? When we talk about players who went elsewhere & had success, he may have been the best Blue Bomber toi have ever done that. The biggest disappointment I had ever as a fan seeing a Blue Bomber player leave was in 1969 when we traded running back Dave "The Knife" Raimey to the Argos for their backup qb, Wally Gabler. I was heartbroken to see him leave. I remember being pretty choked when I first heard the news as he was the only superstar the Bombers had at the time. Gabler had been a success having got the Argos to the playoffs in 1968 but had lost his starting job to Tom Wilkinson during the 69 Argos training camp. We were desperate for a quarterback as John Schneider & Luther Selbo weren't the answer after struggling thru a horrendous 3-12-1 season in 1968. To make matters worse, the Bombers were humiliated by the Eskimos in their 1969 home opener to the Eskimos 33-0 back in an era when 33 points would seem like 50 or even 60 today. So, I understand why they traded Raimey. He was in his prime as a running back, a CFL all star as well as a Schenley Award winner. He was one of the last holdovers from the 1965 Blue Bomber team that made it to the Grey Cup that year. Raimey was my favourite player & still remains that to this day. The way he could run, stop on a dime, shift & make players miss was breathtaking & earned him the nickname "The Knife". After he went to the Argos he played extremely well as their tailback before suffering a season ending knee injury. That necessitated himchanging to corner on defense where he became a CFL Eastern Conference all star & probably extended his career. But how many players can be an all star running back then switch to corner & become an all star doing that? He was a great player. Anyway sorry for changing the discussion & back to the original thread subject. Just had to get that in.

MBB can be a pretty mean spirited site unfortunately sometimes with the arguments & name calling that take place but it can also be a place for intelligent discussion which is a lot of fun. Like today. When that happens, MBB can be a truly great place to talk Canadian football!!

One of the best discussions on this thread I've had in a long time. Thanks wbbfan.

We just don't throw to him enough. He needs to become more involved in the passing game & that is Nichols responsibility. At the same time, he has to be open to throw to. So, don't know if it's Nichols fault he isn't getting the ball to him or he's just not getting open. I think the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Kelowna isn't big enough. They have the 2,500 seat Apple Bowl where the Okanagan Sun play & last Saturday I was at the game there as my son is a coach with the Sun & it wasn't sold out. However, well over 2,000 fans were in attendance vs Kamloops. Junior football is king there & the community embraces it. Just a great atmosphere for a game. The CFL would never work there.

I still think we gave upon Gurley too early & he never got a chance to show what he was about when he was a Blue Bomber. I know the RedBlacks cut him but he was pretty sour after his experiences with the Argos & here. That may have been a part of it.

AC had intelligence going for him as well as being the crafty veteran that he was. if you're a Ti cat fan, it must've been hard to watch him kick your team's ass continually for over a decade after the fans there literally drove him out of town thinking he was finished.
